Look for the tire tracks. If you’ve ever been around drift cars, you know that with all that gumption, these beasts tend to break the tires loose. And when they cut loose, they leave synchronized patches of molten rubber in their wake. In the case of Tanner’s NASCAR V8-powered Scion tC, we’re talking about 600 horsepower and an equally crazy amount of torque. Probably to the wheels. Meaning that Tanner’s car doesn’t just burn rubber, the little Scion incinerates it.
Why are we harping on this point? Why are we encouraging you to watch the video looking for tire tracks? That’s a tough question to answer without giving away the video, so we’ll just say that despite being fully within the city limits of big, bad, mega-metropolis Los Angeles, Mulholland Drive is a pretty pristine place. Er, it was before Tanner Foust sunk his smoky, rubber claws into it. Make the jump to watch how great Top Gear USA could have been and read the press release.
